Optimism from Dylan Bundy

Bundy is the future. Last year's No. 4 overall pick has yet to throw a professional pitch, but he has already been anointed as the organization's top prospect. MLB.com already ranks the righty the 10th-best prospect in baseball. Needless to say, Bundy's pro debut this spring will be ballyhooed. One thing to remember: At 19, he's the youngest player at Orioles major league camp by 4 1/2 years. But you can't help but be excited that he is a cornerstone of any future optimism.
